A- standard .13 has two arms 14 which are bent substantially at right 'angles' to the body of the'standard near their terminals, the terminals 1G of the bent portions 15 of the arms 14 being bent aroundthe rod 9. This stand wardlyl disposed hook 23, with which the arm of the trip 18 is adapted to .enga the trigger 21 having also 1i long, forward disposed hook 24, to which the bait ma be secured.

base 1 is 25 having an orifice .26'.

. In using my invention, the-basel .is 's'ecured -to`a=-she'lf or to a floor by, vinserting anf'the' flange 2 5 To the U-shaped member 2 o the secured alaterally-disposed flange and driving the nail into tliesh'eflf or floor.
